When to shower - not so obvious anymore!

I keep thinking I've learned something from my unemployment experience. And I have. Really I have learned some things. But the lesson that slips my mind now and then, ever since my Naked Interview, is that I need to shower right when I get up (or at least by 8 o'clock). It's 11:20 am and I haven't showered yet (What? I've been busy). But I can't shower now, lest my phone should ring and I'd need to jump out and do another interview in the nude.

I am expecting a call "early this week." And since my luck usually kicks in at the least opportune times, "early this week" no doubt means the minute I step foot in the shower! Regardless of whether I stop typing right this second and jump in the shower, or if I wait until I've finished this to my liking and then jump in the shower, I'm positive either option will yield a call within seconds of dousing my hair with Pure Abundance by Aveda.

What other options do I have? My irrational self wants to give it a go and jump in the shower quick like. But my rational self says that's not a good idea -- another Naked blog post won't cut it.

Rational self wins. I'll have lunch.

Had lunch, watered the plants, hemmed a pair of pants AND showered (it's afternoon by now). No call.

Then my friend Deb called. We were having a nice conversation about this 'n that and we need to get together soon because we haven't seen each other in forever. The other line beeped in and who do you suppose it was? You guessed it! I had to cut Deb off mid-sentence to take the call that would have been so much more convenient to take ANYTIME between like 1 and 6 hours ago!

But whatever. Pleasantries ensue and as a result I have an interview set up for later in the week.

I can now leave the house without worry of missing an important call. No, I don't consider Mortgage Elite an important call (so if you're reading this, STOP CALLING!).

  1. I gotta know. How many pairs of pants do you have? You're ALWAYS hemming pants. What the heck? Maybe you are shrinking (or growing) on a daily basis?

  2. It takes me a while to hem a single pair of pants. This particular pair has taken a while due to the cuff. I had both legs part way done and had to rip it out because they were uneven.

    You know you don't sew much when...
    ...you use a black sharpie to mark your hem stitch. (That'd be yours truly. )
